Question

9.(2015甘肃定西安定公园路中学第一次月考) Her father

       in 1990 and her husband        for more than five years.

   A. died;has been dead   B. has died;died

   C. died;has been died   D. has died;has died 

Answer 1

9.A in 1990为过去时间状语，故第一空格处谓语动词应用一般过去时，排除B、D两项;for more than five years为表示一段时间的状,第二空格处谓语动词应用延续性动同,die是非延续性动同，应转化为be dead。故选A.
